For any given shitty situation X, there is an airtight legal remedy had only such remedy been applied Y years ago.
The set of shitty situations is unbounded, and therefore so is the set of hindsight legal techniques to avoid them.
- borski 11y agoWhile that's true, that's a strawman. This was a particular situation that Kyle & co. clearly knew about, and it could very easily have been prevented. That's very different from an unforeseen legal circumstance that occurs solely due to bad luck or an outside bad actor; they knew Jeremy was with them for the first month, and they knew he left.
- rfrey 11y agoI have been in similar situations, with competent legal advice, and was not advised to make the described arrangements (token compensation, etc.) I certainly did not think of it on my own. Luckily for me my company failed so I did not have to deal with anything like this. Perhaps I was given other advice that was unique to my lawyers. That would be nice, because when somebody got caught out because their lawyers did not give similar guidance, I could congratulate myself on having done the obvious.
- borski 11y agoOh come on, you're saying you could not have predicted that a person with whom you began work on a company may one day sue you? Think ahead a few moves. My lawyers did not tell me 'hey you should deal with this situation,' they just told me how best to deal with it after I asked.
